No, there aren't any aquatic ecosystems in my neighborhood but a few blocks down there is a large pond that fish, ducks and geese live in.

No, not really. I do live down a couple blocks by the park which has a little pond.

I live in Colorado next to the Yampa River. We have ponds and streams also. Many fish live in these water holes. 

I live in South Florida and there are several aquatic ecosystems like the Miami River, the Everglades, Biscayne Bay, coral reefs and much more. In the Miami River you can find manatees. I love when I get the chance to see one of them. The Everglades have many crocodiles and alligators that live in shallow waters. You can actually take rides on special boats that seem to fly above the water. Biscayne Bay is just off the coast of Key Biscayne and it is filled with fish, lobsters, and now and then you can even see dolphins. One aquatic ecosystem that surprises me a lot are coral reefs. They are such beautiful ecosystems but they are being destroyed and people are making artificial reefs. Many animals live there so if the coral reefs get destroyed then they won't have anywhere to go and all those wonderful fish would die.

I live in Miami, Florida. There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of aquatic ecosystems near where we live. We have the Miami River which consists of many species of fish, and maybe thousands of different and extraordinary plants, or even other organisms too small to be able to see with the human eye. Another aquatic ecosystem in my neighborhood is the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean also consists of thousands, millions of different animals, organisms, and plants such as stingrays and eels. There are also many thousands actually of different and unique organisms that I am sure man has unheard of! Who knows what is lingering down in those aquatic ecosystems just waiting to be discovered!

I too live in Key Biscayne, Florida which is bordered by the Gulf Of Mexico and the St. Johns River. These are the aquatic ecosystems where I live.

I live in Florida. I live next to a river so there is an aquatic ecosystem in my neighborhood.

 I live in South Florida and there are numerous amounts of aquatic ecosystems. My favorite by far is the coral reef. In Florida the coral reefs are located mostly in the Florida Keys, yet there are other reefs found in the Biscayne Bay, and Palm Beach. A coral reef is an ecosystem were coral is able to grow. For coral to grow you need warm water, shallow water, and a good supply of phytoplankton, and zooplankton. This plankton atracts invertibrates and small fish such as cleaner shrimp, Saron shrimp, and Anthias. These small organisms attract larger ones like Octipie, Snapper, and Hamlet. These attract larger ones like Goliath Grouper, and Blach Tip sharks which are at the top of the food chain. All the coral stacking on top of each other forms a gargantuan filter which releases trace elements like iodine, calcium, and iron which are supplimental for giant clams, and many varieties of coral. There are many types of coral. First comes sps coral which is hard stony coral which forms the base of the reef.Then come lps corals which have extremely large polyps which stun prey and suck it in. Finaly there is soft coral which doesn't do much but look pretty. Soft corals don't supplement the reef when they die and leave a skeleton like sps or lps but simply melt. Occaisionally they make shelter for small fish. All of this makes an exquisite ecosystem that many people don't fully understand. Unfortunately many people over fish the reefs for fish and decor. For example in Palau, home to some of the most intricate reefs on the planet there once lived a coral called Palau green nephthia. This coral had the most stunning jade branches with sienna polyps more powerful than the sun. But one day a scuba diver spotted this  rare beauty and decided to take it home and put it in his saltwater aquarium. He tried to keep it a secret but when word broke loose it was a frenzy. Soon this coral became extinct in the wild and is only available for the aquarium trade and the people that took this coral from its habitat will always feel guilt of not respecting the ocean. Ecosystems are everywere but if we don't soon wake up and confront nature then there will be an ecological disaster.

Yes, I live by the Atlantic Ocean and I get to swim there when it's the summer time. What fun! Also there's a bay close to my house and I get to see the birds swim around there and sometimes I see the boats coming across from there!

I also live in Key Biscayne, FL which is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and The St. Johns River. These are the aquatic ecosystems where I live.

 I live in Key Biscayne, FL. There are coral reefs, kelp forests, lakes and rivers. But people are building over these and ruining them. I hope that will stop.

Yes, I live in Key Biscayne- South Florida. There is the Miami River, the Ocean, and Lake Occeechobee.

I do have an aquatic ecosystem in my neighborhood. I live by the Atlantic Ocean, which is a pleasure to swim and fish in. I go for a swim every so often. What fun! 

I live in Key Biscayne, FL. I am bordered by aquatic ecosystems, The Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.

I live in Key Biscayne an island in Miami, Florida so their are many kelp forests, coral reefs, and artificial reefs near my house. I can usually see many creatures like shrimp and even sea stars in the water near kelp forests because the reefs are farther out in the ocean. You can also see many birds like pelicans swooping down to catch their food. I once went out and saw the reefs. Amazing! Sadly many coral reefs are being destroyed which is why artificial reefs are being made.
